I'm not a burger expert folks, sadly I haven't been to the legendary In-N-Out, 5 Guys, or Ramsay's Burgr, nor have I sampled the FleurBurger 5000 in Vegas. So my burger palate may not be as sophisticated as say Samuel L. Jackson's. However I did have French fries at Maison Antoine, considered to be amongst the best, so I know my fries. Jimmy's Burger is a tiny joint located on the second floor, and has a capacity for maybe 30 people. The decor is playfully Americana and there is even an arcade game for you to play. So they're only missing pin up girls to complete the picture. I had their classic Jimmy's burger (29₺) and as you can see it's a monstrous burger, almost exploding with meat. And while that's the bigger version (mine was 200g, you can also opt for 150g), in typical American fashion you can always go bigger, as my compadre did with his whopping 300g 34₺ Magic Burger and boy does that look like a heart attack waiting to happen. It's a shame I couldn't take a pic of it before he devoured it. Now the burger tasted excellent, nothing earth shattering or unique but it's a good, tasty burger, however the buns were too dry. The fries on the other hand, have to be one of the best fries I had in Istanbul, for 5₺, I think they've very reasonably priced and I would recommend this place even just for the fries. We also tasted sampled their sucuk (6₺) and smoked meat (8₺), which apparently they make themselves, but you can skip them, they taste nothing special and come in tiny portions. So while there is room for improvement and it certainly isn't cheap by any means save for the fries, it's a good burger folks. If you're going to have high blood pressure, better because of Jimmy's rather than Ronald's. read more
